To be mad that we will be poorer if i move in with dp than if we live seperately?

Been with dp 2 years...still going very well. We want to move in together. If we do i will loose Universal Credit which means that we will be both worse off as he stretches in income to bridge the gap.Money is tight as it is but it will put strain on us if we really struggle.

Aibu to think it should be cheaper to live with a dp? I thought this governent were all for promoting family cohesion. Im not buying it

You won't both be worse off. Even if you were getting the maximum amount of universal credit, his income (assuming it's full time) is definitely higher than that. So what you mean is, you will be better off, he will be worse off.

Person worse off with dependants than when single and fancy-free shocker. This is the least 'mad inducing' thing ever. If you want to benefit bash you're going to have to try a bit harder.

It’s shit but that’s life. When I moved in with DH I lost all my tax credits and had to give up my job because TCs paid for my childcare which was more than my wage (two preschoolers).

We moved in together, DH supported us all for a while and then we bought a house together and I started a fairly successful business from home. Ultimately, getting off benefits can only be a good thing, having the constant threat of them being reduced or taken away is horrible.

You can either stay receiving benefits and living as a single person or you combine your incomes, live together and make the best of it like everyone else. He either wants to live together or he doesn't no 'poor him' about it
